  • Patent number: 11946722
    Abstract: A detector for detecting the removal and/or insertion of a weapon out of and/or into a holster. The detector may transmit a message each time the weapon is removed from the holster. A recording system may receive the message and determine whether or not it will begin recording the data it captures. A detector may detect the change in a magnitude of an inductance and/or an impedance of a circuit to detect insertion and removal of the weapon into and out of the holster. The holster is configured to couple to the detector to position the detector to detect insertion and removal of the weapon. An adhesive tape may couple a detector to a holster.

  • Publication number: 20230150675
    Abstract: An oxygen pressure relief and ventilation system includes a flow fuse fluidly coupled downstream of a pressure regulator. The pressure regulator is operatively coupled to an oxygen tank, and the oxygen tank is located in an unpressurized compartment of an aircraft. A pressure relief valve is fluidly coupled downstream of the flow fuse. A ventilation pathway fluidly couples the unpressurized compartment with a pressurized compartment. The flow fuse and the pressure relief valve are configured to cooperatively mitigate downstream flow of pressurized oxygen if the pressure regulator fails. The ventilation pathway is configured to allow air from the pressurized compartment to pass through to the unpressurized compartment for diluting a concentrated oxygen in the unpressurized compartment.
